Synopsis "A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems "

The largest and richest English-language volume of poetry from "the greatest twentieth-century writer you have never heard of" (Los Angeles Times) Edited, Translated, and with an Introduction by Richard Zenith, the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Pessoa: A Biography A Penguin Classic Writing obsessively in French, English, and Portuguese, poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) left a prodigious body of work, much of it credited to three "heteronyms"―Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Alvaro de Campos―alter egos with startlingly different styles, points of view, and biographies. Offering a unique sampling of his most famous voices, this collection features Pessoa's major, best-known works and several stunning poems that have come to light only in this century, including his long, highly autobiographical swan song. Featuring a rich body of work that has never before been translated into English, this is the finest introduction available to the stunning breadth of Pessoa's genius.

Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) was a Portuguese poet, writer, and philosopher, considered one of the most prominent literary figures of the 20th century. Born in Lisbon, he developed a prolific and complex literary work, characterized by the creation of heteronyms, literary personalities with their own biographies and styles. In addition to his literary production, he worked as a translator and editor, and was a profound connoisseur of philosophy and esotericism.

Among his most notable works are "The Book of Disquiet" (1982), a compilation of fragments that explore introspection and melancholy; "Message" (1934), a poetic work that celebrates the history and identity of Portugal; and "The Anarchist Banker" (1922), a philosophical essay that addresses the contradiction between anarchism and capitalism. These works have been fundamental in Portuguese and world literature, reflecting the depth and complexity of Pessoa's thought.
